Following a promising debut season, Sofia Zanfari begins her second year in the French F4 Championship with fresh ambitions. No fewer than 32 drivers competed in the single-seaters at the traditional Easter Cup races on the Gascon circuit as part of the French Circuit Championship. Seven female drivers, each more competitive than the last, went head-to-head in F4.

The young Moroccan driver once again distinguished herself in the French F4 Championship during the fifth and penultimate round at the Lédenon circuit. She managed to climb onto the women's podium in Races 2 and 3 after some spectacular battles.

Moroccan champion Sofia Zanfari, 18, is one of six female drivers competing in the 2025 French F4 Championship. At the fourth round of the season, on the Magny-Cours circuit, she managed to climb onto the second step of the women's podium for the first time in Race 1.

Considered one of the best French kart drivers of his generation, Andy Consani has just made his debut in the FIA-certified French F4 Championship. The youngest driver on the grid made his first-ever start from pole position after a perfectly controlled Qualifying session in difficult rainy conditions. For Andy, the Easter Cup at Nogaro also included a first podium finish, this time on a dry track. It's clear that in 2025, we'll have to watch out for the hopeful chosen by Mercedes-AMG F1 to be part of its development programme for young drivers.

The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is delighted to announce its Junior Programme line-up for 2025. This year, the programme expands to include twelve talented young drivers, competing across various categories from karting to FIA Formula 3.
